This place is magic....just registering alone has got my Task Manager and Drives Back ...Hallelujah !!! (actually following a similar thread did it!!!)

Except for one last thing my Desk Top Properties is still missing ...


Only menu option is General and "FILE PROTOCOL" is written below

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums .

==========

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE

• You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
• Physically disconnect from the internet.
• Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
• Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
• When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply
• Re-enable all the programs that were disabled during the running of ComboFix..

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Thanks Crunchie !!!
Should I just copy and paste in the next reply or ???
